Equipment

  • 1 10-inch nonstick skillet or 8-inch
  • 1 high speed blender

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Add the eggs, milk, water, flour, melted butter, sugar, vanilla and salt to a high speed blender. Blend on high until smooth, pausing and scraping down the sides if needed. Pour the smooth batter into a small mixing bowl.
  • Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Use 1/3 cup measuring scoop to pour the batter into the hot pan. Gently swirl the pan so the batter gets to the edges.
  • Let it cook for 1 1/2 minutes, or until the edges have bubbles and the top is glossy but mostly cooked through.
  • Gently slide two small nonstick spatulas underneath either side of the crepe. And flip it over. Allow to cook for about 15 more seconds and then remove it from the pan. Repeat the process. This recipe should make 8 crepes.
  • Be sure and watch the video to see a crepe being made!
